Electroanalytical Chemistry

Electroanalytical methods are a class of facility in analytical chemistry, which study an analyte by calibrating the potential (volts) and/or power (amperes) in an electrochemical cell containing the analyte. The three main divisions are potentiometry (the difference in electrode potentials is calibrated), coulometry (the cell's current is measured over time), and voltammetry (the cell's current is measured while strongly altering the cell's potential). A sensor is equipment that detects and reacts to some type of input from the physical environment. A biosensor is an analytical apparature, used for the exposure of an analyte that combines a biological compound with a physicochemical detector. The sensitive biological components e.g. tissue, microorganisms, organelles, cell receptors, enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, etc. is a biologically borrowed material or biomimetic component that interacts binds or recognizes) with the analyte under study. The conductometric transducer is a miniature two-electrode device designed to calibrate the conductivity of the thin electrolyte layer adjacent to the electrode surface.
